Sales Isn’t a Math Problem It’s Psychology with Benjamin Dennehy

This episode is a punch in the face to every sales myth you’ve ever believed. Caleb sits down with Benjamin Dennehy, famously branded the UK’s Most Hated Sales Trainer, to dismantle the fake confidence, emotional attachment, and lack of process plaguing modern sales teams. If you want to stop losing deals—and your dignity—this one’s a must-listen.
Benjamin goes deep into the psychology of selling, why being liked is killing your close rate, and how most entrepreneurs unknowingly train their teams to be manipulated by buyers. Brutal honesty meets elite strategy in this hilarious, no-holds-barred conversation.
TAKEAWAYS
- Most salespeople are emotionally attached to outcomes—and it’s killing their performance.
- Your prospects are following a process designed to deceive and plunder you.
- If you don't control the sales process, you’re being controlled by it.
- Order takers aren’t salespeople. Learn the difference or lose money.
- Sales must be structured, controlled, and disqualifying—not winged.
